Software Distributor Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i

Introduction to Software Distributor
Working from the Command Line
Chapter 160
The template file lists (as comments):
• All command options
• The commands to which each option applies
• Possible values for each option
• The resulting system behavior for each value.
You can copy values from this file into the system defaults file
(/var/adm/sw/defaults), your personal defaults file
($HOME/.swdefaults), or an input file (with the -X
input_file option)
and edit them to affect SD-UX behavior.
Option files use this syntax:
[
command .] option = value
• The optional
command is the name of a SD-UX command. Specifying a
command name changes the default behavior for that command only.
A period must follow a command name.
•
option is the name of the default option. An equals sign must follow
the option name.
•
value is one of the allowable values for that option.
NOTE You must restart the SD-UX daemon after changing swagentd options, or
the daemon will not recognize the changes. To restart the daemon, type:
/usr/sbin/swagentd -r
Examples
To change the default value of use_alternate_source to true for all
users for all future sessions for all commands to which the option applies,
place the following line in the /var/adm/sw/defaults file:
use_alternate_source=true
To change the default value of use_alternate_source to false for your
own invocations of the command, place the following line in your
$HOME/.swdefaults file:
swinstall.use_alternate_source=false
